Two of the eight sexual assault charges against former CBC Radio host Jian Ghomeshi were dropped at a Toronto court this morning.

The Crown withdrew two of the sex assault charges after determining there wasn't a reasonable prospect of conviction based on the evidence. He still faces five sexual assault charges and one charge of overcoming resistance by choking.
